What is a "next S-curve"?
next S-curve understands that not every business leader wakes up with the next groundbreaking product idea like the visionaries behind the iPad.
For the rest of us, transitioning to the next phase of growth requires strategic thinking, careful analysis, and a deep understanding of client needs and market dynamics.
next S-curve's strength lies in our systematic approach. I specialize in analyzing market trends, researching extensively, and connecting the dots to help businesses identify their next S-curve. I don't just rely on inspiration; I create it by blending new technologies, creative insights, and a keen understanding of industry landscapes.
next S-Curve can guide you through this journey, helping you define who your company will be in the future.
Ansgar Chorhummel
Interim Manager and Consulting Partner in Innovation and Transformation
Professor for Innovation and Strategy
With over two decades of expertise in shaping and implementing growth strategies, my professional journey began as a procurement-focused consultant. Later I successfully sold multi-billion Euro solution projects, honed my strategic skills as a consultant at BCG, acquiring a comprehensive toolkit dedicated to propelling employers and clients towards innovative growth strategies, positioning them on the cusp of the next S-curve.
My specialization extends to crafting innovation growth strategies for diverse sectors, including Telcos, software and solutions companies, digital services providers, and hardware enterprises seeking to reinvent their offerings and evade the commoditization trap.
My role involves guiding clients through a structured approach centered on achieving profitable growth, prioritizing substantial results over “shiny widgets” or dead-end pilot projects. Recognizing that insight gains true value only through implementation and tangible impact, I collaborate closely with client teams across all phases. I am also available as interim manager ensuring a comprehensive and enduring transformation, driving sustained change and profitability.
I hold a Master of Economics from Kiel University, an MBA from MIT Sloan School of Management and used to work at The Boston Consulting Group in Boston. I was an executive at innovative companies like Siemens, Dell, Verifone and Viessmann, and grew 2 start-ups to an exit. I am currently angel investing in start-ups in Europe and the US and am teaching Strategy and Innovation at emlyon business school in Paris and Lyon. In addition I have consulted for over a dozen clients so far.
